SECU Open Membership: A Steadfast Commitment to Serve "Every Eligible Member"...

 From "da Plan":

   ...  every "eligible" member!

 ðŸ˜Ž Know each of us - as faithful SECU members - has read and dutifully studied The 2025 SECU Strategic Plan [link].  Our Executive Leadership Team (The "ELT") kinda views it as a requirement, like reciting the "Pledge of Allegiance" in elementary school... stand and deliver!

Not such hard work really, as the 2025 SECU Strategic Plan appears to be identical to the 2024 SECU Strategic Plan, which appears to be identical to the 2023 SECU Strategic Plan, which... well you get the picture

The Strategic Plan may be much like the "Ten Commandments", not really requiring much "updating" ('cause it's set in stone, evidently!). Or it could be that there hasn't been much progress to report over the last 3 years... hard to say. The ELT and the SECU Board don't seem to care to talk [nor listen!] to the members much anymore.. who can tell what's really going on?

But bear with me. If our Mission Statement says we are "committed to serving every eligible member"; and, with the Board's goal of "open membership/anybody can join" for SECU then... 

😎 Ipso facto, doesn't that mean that the SECU Board has decided to spend existing member resources trying to serve everyone in the world? (Since everyone in the world will become "eligible" to join?)  [Read it again, slowly!]

 Take it our SECU ego has gone "GLOBAL" - is that correct? 

  Serving ["only"!] the Eligible Credit Union... is that what "SECU" needs to be?
